from the Union Armies. 1t is q proof ne urges
of the unwillingness of the South ito treasure up

leaving behind many things they wanted to take
with them and forgetting many more. III Will
hardly be safe to conclude that they abandoned
the flags from sheer magnanimity of feeling and
still less that they returned them by putting
them where the Yankees could readily find them.
They left them because, in the slang of the street.
there was very great danger Of their getting left
themselves.
